RTK GPS

Definition

Real-Time Kinematic GPS — centimeter-accurate positioning used for precise georeferencing of pavement data. Road Triage leverages high-accuracy GPS in collection hardware.

In context

RTK GPS narrows positioning to centimeters, which matters when records must line up tightly on a map.
